There is a reasonable level of overlap into the network operator field.
LISA and USENIX are both great conferences to attend if you
want to know what to be planning your network for. These are the
guys running the big server platforms doing interesting things with
applications and I've found it very useful to review the papers
out of both of these meetings [and also Apache-Con].
